Fatherhood

Today's quotes are:

"No man achieves the supernal exalting status of worthy fatherhood except as a gift from his wife."

--President Boyd K. Packer, Ensign, May 1998, 73

Couldn't we turn that around & say motherhood is a gift from our husband?

"Fathers, yours is an eternal calling from which you are never released. Callings in the Church, as important as they are, by their very nature are only for a period of time, and then an appropriate release takes place. But a father's calling is eternal, and its importance transcends time. It is a calling for both time and eternity."

--Ezra Taft Benson, "To the Fathers in Israel,", Ensign, Nov 1987, 48

Wow! What a way to look at it. I have NEVER thought of it in quite that way before.
